5 fights for Jon Jones upon his UFC return

UFC 214  Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones
Jon "Bones" Jones is gearing for his UFC return.

#4 Stipe Miocic

UFC 203: Miocic v Overeem
A change in weight class could see Jones challenge this heavyweight.

The UFC Heavyweight Champion of the world is also considered as the "baddest man on the planet", and it is a title that Stipe Miocic currently holds. He solidified this reputation when he defeated Francis Ngannou at UFC 220 last January, where he also set a UFC record for three straight title defenses, a first in the division.

What makes this fight interesting is that Jones could actually be suited for the heavyweight division. With his size, he could serve as a good match-up for Miocic, who not only hits hard, but is also a talented wrestler.

If Miocic does get through Daniel Cormier at UFC 226 this July and retains the title, it could be the fight that serves as his redemption. And if he wins, it definitely brings him back into the greatest of all-time conversation (but this is under the assumption that he does not fail any of his drug tests).
